Macros-Autocompletion

Motivation

If you are writing a document, or a program you are writing the same words again and again. Often if you are a programmer you have to remember the name of a certain function you just were creating. In my cases most of compiler-error-messages are coming from misspelled function or variable names. To minimise such trouble you can use the following macro.

autocomplet-word

Start writing the word the first two, three, four or five letters and execute the macro, it will search backward for these letters and fill the word with the first possible word it was founding. So these letters should match the proper word beginning correctly. This is especially useful if you see the other word still on the screen. Normally you would thy the function or macro-name: what-for-a-wonderful-macro again, or you try to copy and past it, very borrowing. I simple write "what-" and press "C-1" and the name is completed: what-for-a-wonderful-macro.

Repeat the previous line

The following macro works well together with the previos one. It repeats the previous line, beginning from the actual cursor button. This helps if you have to rewrite almost the same code in the next line just replacing a small amount of letters. Imagine you have to write the following java-code:
